IMO - leave out all white bass and rock bass. Those questionable species, if needed or desired, can be added later when the fishery is mature, reproducing, and established. IMO whenever you later add a new species remove some (2-4) of the existing similar sized residents for each new specie added. This is to reduce competition so the new specie has a chance to survive and thrive.
Remember initially add one of each different predator in this small pond. Monitor the forage and panfish species for several years then make the changes as needed in your 1/3 acre.
We are here to help with good experienced advice to help improve the fishery balance when you want or need some pond mgmt and fishery opinions. Non-reproducing Hyb striped bass are very good at controlling YP. Need more predation add a few more HSB; too much predation, with too few YP, remove some HSB. You control the predatory pressure on the small panfish.
